I'm working through some of my final bits of beech from a massive tree that our landlord cut down. It's starting to get a bit dry on the ends so I had a bit of a mission to turn it all into blanks before it split. The bit I cut into today had some surprise pretty patterns! A lovely treat!
This is one of two courses running over weekend with Owen - a master craftsperson with a wealth of knowledge to share. He’ll also be teaching a Spoon Carving for Improvers course on the 30th May. f you can, why not make a weekend of it and book onto both? It’s a rare chance to really immerse yourself and learn side-by-side with an expert.

Designed for improvers, it’s for people who have the basics under their belt and would value the opportunity to refine their technique, explore design in more detail, and work alongside an experienced maker.

🥄Efficient axe work to prepare a spoon blank
🥄Techniques to speed up your process
🥄Improved carving techniques
🥄Finishing techniques
You’ll leave with a finished spoon (or two), and a stronger sense of your own carving process to carry forward.

I have really appreciated all of the support from this most recent treen drop. The world isn't an easy place at the moment and I truly am grateful that some of you want to hand over your hard earned in exchange for my work.
🖤
Thank you to all my mailing list folks who have a headstart on the goodies. I really appreciate all the support.
There is still a lot of treen up for grabs, including a couple of these Coppergate cups.
🖤
These are some new versions of the straight edge coffee mug that I have made in the past.
I designed these to look a bit more modern than most wooden mugs that are about. The straight lines and low handle give it a more contemporary feeling.
I have carved these with a neolithic pattern, found on a pottery shard from windmill hill, Wiltshire.
Can't be too modern after all 😉
I often get asked what my favourite thing to turn is and I'm pretty sure I can hand on heart say it is these boxes.
Fiddly but fun! And useful! And cool! And awesome!
A medium sized locking lid box with an ebonised finish and a spooky mend on a loose knot. When I initially turned this box, the knot appeared to be sound but, as usual, the wood kept me humble and loosened during drying. Rather than waste my labour, I drilled the knot out and replaced it with a hand carved skull and epoxy mend. I usually strive to use sound wood for my work but nature makes fools of us all 😂
I really love these, especially the little bead. It feels so nice when you hold it, plus you can drink like a real viking rather than posing with a horn 😉
I had a little photoshoot in the workshop for some of my recent work, ready for an upload soon.
These Crannog bowls are a particular favourite from this batch. Over the years, I have turned many different styles of bowl but it is always nice to try something different.
I think the pole lathe tool marks really lend themselves to the form of these ancient shapes.
